I DON'T: The man's girlfriend said no despite his over-the-top proposal [WEIBO]

The programmer from China had spent the staggering amount – two years his annual salary and 17 years the average worker's salary – on the brand new smartphones so that he could arramge them into a heart shape.

He was hoping his girlfriend would be over the moon at the gesture – who wouldn't be?

The unnamed gent's proposal was even laid out bare on Weibo, China's answer to Twitter, where a crowd of friends and colleagues watched as it all unfolded.

NO: The programmer bought 99 iPhones to pop the question [WEIBO]

As the 99 iPhones were laid out carefully on the floor with bunches of flowers, the gent got down on one knee to pop the question.

Those hoping for a celebration were left flattened when his girlfriend shunned his expensive gestures and said no.
